2004 Yamaha YZ250F Review

2004 Yamaha YZ250F

The YZ250F is a blast to ride, even when you're only racing yourself...

Not so many years ago they would've locked you up for suggesting a four-stroke
single could spin to 13,500 rpm and produce a broad torque band the whole
way there. It would have been unthinkable to conjecture that such a machine
could win back-to-back AMA 125 Supercross Championships, not to mention a
slew of magazine shootouts-including top honors in Dirt Rider, Motocross Action
and Cycle World last year alone.

The YZ250F did all those things right after kicking free of its crate; for
2004 it's back and badder than ever.

Internal engine mods reduce pumping losses for increased midrange.

Exhaust flows through an all-new titanium header pipe for relentless power
that just keeps building.

Mere details. The important thing is that even with all its high-tech trickery
and sharp competitive edge.

2004 Yamaha YZ250F Key Features

A bigger, 48mm fork with revised internals for a smooth, compliant feeling
throughout the stroke, while a special new coating reduces stiction.

New anodized triple clamps accomodates the larger forks and give that factory
look while carrying the handlebar aggressively low and forward.
